Okay, before you get the idea that this book is nothing but description, I should discuss the plot. After Allison witnesses a freakish event, the police, her parents and her doctors all believe that she holds the key to her rival, Tori's, disappearance. But when Allison tries to tell them the truth, that Tori disintegrated in front of her while they were fighting, she is committed to a mental hospital. Allison has struggled with her perceptions of the world her whole life. While she desperately wants to go home, even she can't be sure that she is not a danger to others. Her only hope comes from a young researcher, Dr. Faraday, who is the only person who believes she is innocent in Tori’s disappearance.
Ultraviolet strikes at the heart of the most frightening things a person can imagine--being trapped in a mental hospital, having your family and friends turn against you, self-doubt, isolation and whether or not you are capable of being a killer. The book also mixes the genres of paranormal, sci-fi, suspense and romance. There is truly something for all readers in this book. Even though the protagonist is female, teen boys will enjoy this book just as much as the girls.
Be on the lookout for this one! Ultraviolet releases in the U.K. on 2 June 2011, and September for the U.S.
